3.Description


This project explores the new wireless networked
environment in the realm of public art.
People access to the project's WAP site using their
Internet enabled wireless gadgets - such as cellular
phones, Palm Pilot or Pocket PC - to submit text
messages onto an electronic message board installed in
a public place. The board can be any type of display
device only if it supports a computer connection. Then
the computer connected to the board interacts with the
server system via Internet to display the messages on
the board. Without any censoring or filtering process,
they will be able to post any message they choose to
an anonymous public, using devices that are meant to
enhance their private communication.

Two psychic spaces, public and private, are juxtaposed,
creating an arena where freedom of speech can be
manifested in a truly democratic manner, embracing
even malicious and destructive postings of vandalism.
The experience of participating in this phenomenon
becomes one of excitement and even simulated danger,
as anarchistic sentiments are sure to arise. The
enjoyment for the user comes from the knowledge
that he or she has expressed his or her thoughts both
instantaneously and freely on a highly visual billboard
installed in a public space, while remaining anonymous.
The fact that the message was left spontaneously while
walking through the city, riding the subway or other location,
will heighten the sense of pleasure and provide a magical
sense of "power," which has long been longed for by
individuals.
